That's why God invented concealed carry.
The odd part is, the black females on Walking Dead are nearly immortal. They could start chasing zombies and trying to bite THEM.
Not precisely PA Zombies but some very good stuff on possible scenarios.
Some of my favorites that are not as popular is Island in the Sea of Time by S.M. Stirling (The first of a trilogy) and the series that is the Flip side to that story "Dies the Fire" there is like 12 books in that series. Interesting stuff but is does have have few characters that engage in err umm alternative lifestyles but it didn't seem to distract from the story.
One Second After is a very good newer post-apocalyptic novel and a story based on an EMP that is detonated over the USA.BTW the sequel to that one is due out in November.
Another of my favorites is "Harbor on the Hill" by Philip Revene.
Then if you want some FReeper author magic there is FR's own Travis Mcgee (Matt Bracken) and his Enemies Foreign and Domestic series and of course John Ringo and the Shewolf series that starts with "Under a Graveyard Sky"...
If you already read those let me know and I will go through my kindle to see what else I can find.
He's still a spokesperson for liberal thought. Did you catch in the last episode where he relates that he is the way he is, because he saw the death squads in El Salvador as a kid?
Cheer the Walking Dead.
Roger that. And you're spot-on about how quickly things break down.
Prepping is OK, if it's your thing. But, you need to stick close to what you've got, and you're SOL if events conspire to drive you away from it. You'll be left with what fits in a truck, or minimally, what you can carry.
Knowledge *never* gets taken away from you. If the S truly hits the F, long term, I'd rather have a shed full of tools and my smarts.
But a well-stocked pantry does take the pressure off. :-) Mrs WBill....like your wife... has come around to my way of thinking. It's all about how you couch it. "We need a full arsenal, and 6-months of MREs, ASAP!!!", never works.
"Hmmm. Cases of water are on sale this week, and it's hurricane season. Lemme just put back a few cases in the garage, we'll use it...." Do this a double handful of times, and pretty soon you've got a well-stocked house, for not a whole lot of money, or spousal grief. And, it's easier to maintain and rotate a stock, than buy a complete kit outright.
(raises hand)
I'd like to see a storyline about that. It would disabuse people of the notion that supplies alone will save them. THAT would be GOOD.
"OMG! My Tacticool Ar-15 100-round C-Beta magazine with Gen IV IR Night Vision scope and glass-bedded chrome lined match barrel didn't save my entire town after all!!!"
Those of us who live/lived in big cities see this as reality. Hispanic-white : not a big deal. I’ve dated a couple Hispanics. White and black - a little out of the norm, but notice it was the younger kids dating who tend to be more color-blind in dating.
BTW, see my comment about supplies not saving us. It is skillsets. I am gathering skillsets all the time. Next up (as you know) is tactical first aid.
My current goal is to master the skillset "Luring the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders to join me in my post-apocalyptic Mancave stocked with mucho vodka and Sweet Baby Ray's Barbecue sauce."
So far I got the vodka and the Sweet Baby Ray's...
Cool. You master that CAT Tourniquet, I’m going to be over here acclimating myself to the taste of University Professor meat.
I think people have forgotten 2 main things about the shows.
1 - TWD started over a month into it, by the time we join the characters the world is over, a lot of the folks who can’t cope are dead, and the rest have at least figured out basic survival
2 - Truth be told at the beginning the TWD characters weren’t that good at the survival thing, they were still thinking the world was coming back somehow (trip to CDC), camping out in a totally unsecured location that wasn’t going to be any good when winter hit, and sending the pizza guy into suburban Atlanta for most of their supplies
Go back and rewatch that first season. Pay especially close attention to Carol then vs Carol now (or look at the most recent season when Carol pretended to be Carol then). If Carol hadn’t fallen in with the right group she was doomed. The characters in FTWD are Carol then, maybe they’ll get it together, maybe they won’t. Just like the original group, some made the transition, some didn’t. I actually think the dope fiend has a lot of potential, if he can get past the basic problem of being a dope fiend. Like all addicts he’s a hell of a scrounger with a good working knowledge of where people keep their good stuff. He can be Glenn.
Be patient with FTWD. It’s about a family of LA liberals gradually being transformed into the kind of people who’d think Ted Nugent is a role model.
Which he is.
BTTT. OUTSTANDING ANALYSIS!
Just tried a few of the freeze dried Saratoga Farms pouches. Gotta tell ya! Pretty palatable! Better than MRE’s! The Potato/Bacon Chowder was actually really good!
Haven't read any of them. Thanks!
Yep. If you're a black male actor on TWD, don't buy a home in Atlanta.
